Precision-MRD: Prospective Observational Study of Biomarker-directed Systemic Therapy for Colorectal Cancer Patients With Minimal Residual Disease
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the effects of biomarkertargeted therapy on ctDNA in patrticipants with CRC and MRD. This is an observational study. Participants will be monitored while receiving biomarker-directed therapy that is determined by your treating oncologist (cancer doctor) per standard of care, independent of this study.
Description
Primary Objective • To estimate the rate of ctDNA clearance at 6 months following initiation of biomarker-directed targeted therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) participants with minimal residual disease (MRD). Secondary Objectives * To evaluate dynamics of ctDNA mutant allele fractions following initiation of biomarker-directed targeted therapy in MRD-positive CRC participants. * To estimate the rate of disease recurrence at 1 year following initiation of biomarker-directed targeted therapy in MRD-positive CRC participants.

Inclusion Criteria 1. Male or female subjects aged \> 18 years. 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma. 3. Stage II-IV disease per current AJCC staging criteria with no definitive radiographic evidence of disease following locoregional treatment. Small indeterminate lesions measuring \< 10 mm may be permitted at the discretion of the principal investigator. 4. Presence of one of the following targetable biomarkers on tumor or blood molecular testing: BRAF V600E mutation (Cohort A), KRAS G12C mutation (Cohort B), MSI-H status (Cohort C), and HER2 am…
